My very first time

[Excruciating]

Illustrator that is,

Well, what to say, this is my very first image with Illustrator, I know it sucks and so forth, but here is is:

I know, you'd propperly say this was meaningless posting it here and all, but I also wanted to ask where I can find some good tutorials?
I tried google (of course) but you know google, you never get the best results.

Here? It may be another illustrator I am not sure.

Leavs is very hard to start off with, I think you've done it really well.

[Excruciating]

Thanks, that really makes you want to continue.

I am going to make a tribal-ish tattoo in illustrator since it's very limited what you can do in photoshop I think.
(cirlce > fill> circle > cut > and wow!)

It's still very different from photoshop actually, at least I'm all back at crawling when I try to use shortcut keys

Okay, so here is my second try:

[johneva]

WOW!

Yeah thats well cool fella.

[Excruciating]

Hmm, it's a bit unfair that the lines is so ... erm .. unclean...

Any help on this issue?
When I try using the function "Save for Microsoft" all I can save it as is .png file.
I looks great in illustrater though.

My third image.. Didn't turn out quite as I wanted it, but then again, I was doing something else in the start and then suddenly noticed what it really looked like ..

[johneva]

That is pretty amazing matey!

[Ash]

Thats good. Give it some colour and it'll look better.

[webmaster]

I really like that burning man (what is it? )

Keep up the good work.

Well, I was thinking about some kind of (evil) samurai.

Even though it doesn't really have anything to do with that except the two swords ..

I'm not going to do anything more about this piece since I find it a waste of time .. I'm still just on the learning stage.
